The Gold Coast problems just got a whole lot worse; two players, Falloon and Dowling, on charges of supplying cocaine along with ex Broncos man, Karmichael Hunt. The local rag said there`s a possibility that another five Titans players could be involved, but apparently there`s a whole host of current and ex players in various codes involved as it`s "very easy to get whatever drugs you want" here on the Gold Coast. Hunt`s just signed a million dollar deal to play ra ra for Queensland Reds, so why he`d be involved in this is mind boggling. Investigations by the boys in blue have been going on for several months and it`s still going on, so this could blow out to be very big indeed.

The bottom 4 super league teams as of what date? They dont seem to specify . . probably decide the week before.

I suppose that will completely disrupt Superleague fixtures that weekend because although only 4 teams are involved it could mean four fixtures have to be cancelled and hence cause fixture congestion later in the season.

It also reduces the chances of league one teams facing superleague teams, they have to progress to stage where the championship teams play and then survive that round in order to have a chance of playing one of the bottom 4 SL teams. Probably not a bad thing given the hidings and injuries they tend to suffer when playing the full timers. But then whats the point of entering the competition?

This re-dis-organisation of the game really is something that Monty Python could have used.
